The prove that the perpendicular bisector of two non parallel chords of a circle intersect at its centre.
Step-by-step explanation:
Given:
⇒ ∠ORP = ∠ORQ
⇒ QR = RP
Now, from question,
⇒ ∠ORP = ∠ORQ ( given above)
⇒ ∠OPR = ∠OQR (given above)
⇒ OR = OR (common according to figure)
So, by side-side-side, ΔOPR ≅ ΔOQR.
Hence, OP = OQ, which means they are radii of the circle as they pass from the centre O to the corners.
